Pattern Description:
These are girls pants with a front yoke and an elastic back. Pull-on pants.

Pattern Sizing: Slim Fit European sizing 110 - 146 cm

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow? These were very easy to make. The first time reading them constructing the side seams, I was unclear what it was telling me to do with the front yoke. After just doing exactly what it said to do, I understood that it had you sewing it in the right side of the inside yoke against the right side of the back side so after it is sewn together it flips back over and neatly covers the side seam.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like how quick and easy this pattern goes together!

Fabric Used:
I have made two versions. The first version I made with a heavy bottom weight knit. I got this knit on clearance from Chez Ami online. The second version that I made was with a stretch pinwale corduroy. I got that fabric from the Fabric & Notions coop on yahoo groups.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I added topstitching along the center seam front and back for added reinforcement to keep from pulling the stitches apart (I have had this problem in the past....).

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes. I have already sewn it up twice!

Conclusion:
Fast and easy and different fabrics give it a completely different look!

Mary Stiefer	11/8/09	These are so cute - I love the embroidery on the corduroy ones. PUmpkins look great too.
